Jose Saramago

Opis

Cipriano and his daughter craft a new line of small ceramic figurines and the Centre orders cast quantities and then recants. Resigned to idleness, Cipriano moves to a soulless megaplex, until late one night he comes across a horrifying secret in the bowels of the artificial city. This is an Orwellian nightmare, a family fable and a love story.

Recenzje

What distinguishes the book is the concern Saramago breathes over his characters; like potter's clay, they are patiently moulded into their best shape, retaining soft marks of memory David Jays Guardian 20031218
